LG’s new V40 ThinQ Comes With All the Cameras You’ll Need

If you have been unable to keep up LG’s flurry of flagship phones this year (and their awkward names), the company has announced another one today. The much-rumored V40 ThinQ is now official and just like the leaks suggested, it comes with a total of five cameras — three on the rear and two on the front. The rest is largely identical to LG’s existing flagship phones.

Before diving into what’s new, here is what LG didn’t change — the V40 ThinQ features the same all-glass exterior, a notch-equipped Quad HD OLED screen, headphone jack, “boombox” speaker, Snapdragon 845 processor, oodles of storage and memory, Android Oreo-based custom software, IP68 rated water as well as dust resistance, and a dedicated hardware key for invoking the Google Assistant.

The LG V40 ThinQ’s biggest highlight is its pack of cameras. On the rear, there’s a standard 12-megapixel f/1.5 lens, a super-wide-angle 16-megapixel f/1.9 snapper with a 107-degree field of view, and a 12-megapixel telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom. You can leverage all of their abilities individually or even combine them with a neat camera trick LG has bundled. Of course, there’s also regular Portrait and Portrait Lightning modes available.

On the front, there’s a pair of selfie cameras as well — a standard 8-megapixel shooter coupled with a wide-angle 5-megapixel lens. In addition, the LG V40 ThinQ offers a slightly larger 3300mAh battery which can be topped up wireless charging and is compatible with Quick Charge 3.0.

The LG V40 ThinQ will retail between $900 and $980 based on the carrier in the United States. It will be available from October 18th in black or blue color options.
